Mid-Atlantic Electrification Partnership (MAEP) EV-charging host site and general store owner, Jon Henry, has been elected as one of three finalists in a national award. The 2024 National Rural Grocery Summit’s Rural Grocer of the Year Award is run by the Rural Grocery Initiative and aims to support grocery stores outside of urban areas.
Jon Henry’s General Store is a host site to EV charging stations funded by the Mid-Atlantic Electrification Partnership grant from the US Department of Energy. Henry says the stations are a contributor to his store’s success among other partnerships and key business strategies. These charging stations help bring his store more commercial activity and contribute to the livelihood of New Market’s historic area.
